Embry's POV:
I know it was stupid to leave her unprotected but the anger I had took over. I let the wolf take over when I should have stopped. I'm in idiot for leaving her especially when I knew she needed my help. I had to help her somehow. That thought was what made me phase.
I guess my subconscious knew I was going to go back because when I phased back to my human-self I was only a mile or so from La Push. I tug on my shorts and run to Emily's house. When I arrive, only Sam, Emily, Jared and Kim were there.
"Finally decided to show your face around here," Jared says jokingly.
"I guess so, my anger wore off and the need to help Artemis made me phase," I tell them.
"Well were glad your back, we missed you," Emily says and Sam and Jared laugh. Emily smacks them both in the back of the head.
"Well I missed you and Kim, too. The others not so much," I say laughing," So exactly how long have I been all wolf?"
"About two and a half weeks, today is Friday," Sam says.
"Two and a half weeks! I've been gone that long. What could have happened to her? He could have hurt her more," I angrily say and start to shake. Sam hurries over to me and grabs me by my shoulders.
Looking me straight in the eyes he says," Embry, no! Remember that you have to help her. You have to help Artemis. Remember Artemis," at the mention of Artemis name I slowly stop shaking and Sam releases me.
Artemis needs me. I can't wolf out and leaver her again. She needs me. I haven't seen her in two and a half weeks and I've missed her so much. I had to see her. Now. I couldn't wait until Monday.
I need to find Brady.
"Where's Brady?" I ask them.
"Um he left to go on patrol a few minutes before you came in," Sam says to me.
"I have to talk to him and then find her. I'll see you guys later," I yell to them as I run out of the house.
I phase and find that Brady, Collin, and Quil are running patrol.
Brady, where does Artemis live? I have to see her, I say to him.
Um…well I'm glad to see you're not all wolfy anymore. Anyways she lives on Bucktown, the third house on the right, he tells me.
Okay thanks, and I phase.
I run to the house Brady said was Artemis's. When I finally got there the sun was starting to go down, telling me it was around 6. I walk up to the door, getting nervous and knock on the door. A few moments later Artemis opens the door and eyes go wide with shock.
"Embry! What are you doing here?" she asks quietly.
"I had to see you," I say stepping closer to her and taking her hands in mine. When I do she flinches in pain," What… What's wrong?" I say looking at her hands. I see that one is starting to swell," What did he do? Did he do this?" I ask getting angry.
"Who's at the door?" a male voice yells from inside the house.
"No one," she yells back then whispers to me," You have to go."
"No, I'm not leaving you. Where is he? I'll take care of him," I tell her, moving into the house.
"No, please Embry just leave," she begs, but my anger has taken over. I want this guy to pay for hurting Artemis.
I walk into a living room, then a kitchen, into a dining room where the voice came from. A dark hair, tan, man in his early 40's sitting at the table, with a blonde hair, ivory skinned, women in about her late 30's standing to the side of the man.
"What the…" the man says right before I punched him in the nose. The man grabs his nose and says," Who the hell do you think you are?" while standing up.
"Someone who's not going to put up with your shit," I say angrily.
"What are you goi-"he tries to say as I punch him in the jaw making him trip over the chair and land on his back. I jump on him not letting him get up and just start punching him in the face.
Somewhere far away I hear an angelic voice," Embry, stop you're going to kill him. Please stop, look at me, please stop," it says and I feel hands on my shoulders trying to pull me off. I look over to see Artemis staring at me wide eyed with fear. It snaps me back to reality and I stop punching the guy.
I get up slowly and stand over the guy half-conscience," I want you out of here. Now. If I ever see you again anywhere near these two, I swear I will kill you. Got that," I say to him and give him one last kick before turning to Artemis. I grab her hurt wrist gently and bring it to my lips, kissing it," Come on, were getting out of here," I tell her, grabbing her un hurt wrist and pulling her towards the door.
"My mom…" she says quietly.
"Go outside, I'll get her," I tell her heading back to the dining room. I find Artemis's mom in a corner, knees against her chest. She looks in total shock with a distant look on her face. She doesn't protest when I gently pick her up.
I find Artemis outside waiting," Can you walk alright?" I ask her.
"Yea, I'm fine. Where are we going?" she asks.
"We're going to my house, which isn't a few blocks away and getting my truck, then I'm taking you two to Emily and Sam's house. Then we will go from there. I think you both need to see a doctor," I explain to her.
"Wer… We're going to Sam's house?" she asked looking scared.
"Yes you will be safe there, I promise. No one will hurt you, ever again. And you will like Emily and Sam, and the rest of the gang," I tell her knowing the gang will love her.
"I… I don't know. I'm not good with people," she says.
"You will be great," I say managing to hold Artemis's mom, who seemed to have fainted in my arms, in one arm and give Artemis a side hug with my other.
We walk in a comfortable silence, until we reach my house," You go on and get in the truck with your mom while I get my keys," I say laying her mom beside her in the truck.
My mom was home and I knew I would have some explaining to do but not now. I walk into the house and find my mom sleeping on the couch. I quietly walk to my room to get my keys. When I walk back into the living room, I find my mom sleepy eyed but awake.
"Embry, where have you been?" she asks.
"Mom, I can't explain right now. But I promise when I get back, I will," I say to her.
"And whens that going to be another two weeks, a month. When? You disappear all the time without saying a word to me," my mom says tears escaping. In three big strides, I'm right in front of my mom and I pull her into a hug.
"I know mom and I'm sorry for everything. But I promise to be back tomorrow and I'll explain everything. But right now I have something really important to take care of," I tell her pulling away and wiping her tears away.
"Okay. Go take care of things but promise me you will be back tomorrow. Promise," she says.
"I promise. Now I have to go. I love you mom," I tell her giving her a kiss on the cheek before heading towards the door.
"I love you, too," she says right before I walk out the door.
I run to the truck and climb into the driver's side. I find Artemis comforting her, awake and sobbing mom. I decide to say nothing and let them have this moment. I start the truck and start driving to Emily and Sam's.
When we arrive I ask Artemis's mom," Do you need me to carry you into the house?"
"No I think I should be fine," she replies softly.
"Alright, well let's go inside."
I head towards the front door with the two behind me. I open the door and yell into the house," It's me and I have visitors," giving everyone a heads up that outsiders are coming in.
"Come in," Sam replies.
I lead the two into the house and find Sam and Emily cuddled up on the couch watching a movie.
"Sam, Emily, this is Artemis and her mom…" I say and then remember I don't know Artemis's mom name.
"I'm Becky," Artemis's mom says.
"Hello Artemis, Becky. It's very nice to meet you," Emily says to them, getting off the couch and hugging them.
"Hello," Sam says simply, standing up.
"Hi," Artemis says looking uncomfortable and worn out. Her mother also looking like she's going to pass out.
"Em, do you have an extra bed for them to sleep? The both look like they're going to pass out. They've had a rough day," I say to Emily," Also can we call Dr. Cullen, I don't think it's a good idea to take them to the hospital, to many questions," I ask Sam.
"Of course I have room for both of you. If you two will follow me, I'll show you to your rooms," Em says leading them upstairs.
"Yes, it would be better to call Dr. Cullen. I'll call him so he has alpha permission to come onto the Rez," he says.
"Okay, tell him he's going to need something for a broken wrist though," I say to him and he goes and calls Carlisle.
I sit down on the couch and try to get my thoughts together. I have my imprint. She's safe. She won't ever be hurt again. I swear it.
Sam comes back in and says," Dr. Cullen is out hunting but he will be here in the morning."
"Okay. Have any bandages so I can wrap her wrist up for the night and some pain killers," I ask him.
"Yea, I'll go get it," he replies. He goes into the kitchen and rummages around for a second. He comes back and gives me the bandages, two small pills and a glass of water.
I walk up the stairs and meet Emily in the hall, who just came out of one of the bedrooms," Artemis is in the first bedroom," is all she says walking down the stairs.
"Thanks."
I knock on the first bedroom and hear a voice on the other side say," Come in." I walk in to find Artemis sitting on the bed looking at me," Hey, I go something to wrap your wrist up and some pain killers. The doctor won't be here until tomorrow morning," I tell her.
"Okay," is all she says. I walk over and hand her the glass of water and pain killers and she takes them. I then kneel in front of her. I gently take her wrist and start to wrap it in the bandage. When I'm done I kiss it gently and let go. I then sit on the bed next to her and pull her onto my lap.
The next thing I know Artemis buries her face into my shoulder and starts crying. I just hold her and let her cry. When her cries become soft sobs, I lay down on the bed with Artemis snuggled up into my side her head on my chest and that's how we fall asleep.
